the west memphis 3 deserve a instrumental like this...they love the met and the met love them...watch paradise lost...all 3 docs and prob 1 more coming out...changed me.
@Bregowald lol you're a fucking idiot. a "musical piece" is the same thing as a song, a song doesnt need spoken word. when it comes down to it, WORDS are just noise/vibrations that each persons brain interprets differently. guitars/drums/keys etc. are Noise producing items, so it seems to me that this is in fact, a song.
@metalhead83100 we used to say back in the day when it came out, if you dont like this song youre not a headbanger, because some people were scared of the way metal was going, i played this in my '71 cutlass 2 dr supreme cragar ss g 60's on the back, with a decent stereo, and it defined the metal state we were going to. fucking great song.
One of their best songs ever! it's truly taking metal to an art form like classical music. R.I.P Cliff...he was the melody maker, why you'll never hear another song like this from Metallica. :(
@1234gnrslash You're right, And Justice for All was a kickass album. I've listened to it more times than I can count over the years. Like the Lulu joke that shit is funny!
This song's gotta be on of the best, me and my cousin use to listen to this alot. I found a Anthony Carmine tribute with this playing. I was surprised because I love GOW and Metallica so this reminds me of Anthony Carmine too :D
@Strezamandog Well it isn't a "song", so you're wrong. There is no "singing". There are no lyrics. Call it a "track", or a "piece". But a "song" it is not.
@OttlyOtt A song, by definition, has /SINGING/ That's why it's called a "song". It's not some kind of coincidence that the word "song" sounds similar and is related to "sing". The meanings are also related.
@Bregowald well thanks for informing me. i think everyone got what i meant. Im sure many would call this a song/instrumental/piece/track. Your a smart ass for pointing that out...
@Bregowald ohh your cool cause you call people assholes and are typing in caps you steriotypical metalhead all you do is give us a bad name he means its an instumental its still a song but an instumental one chill the fuck out and stop trolling
@Bregowald : This is the definition from Merriam Webster Dictionary 1. the act or art of singing 2 : poetical composition 3 a : a short musical composition of words and music b : a collection of such compositions 4 : a distinctive or characteristic sound or series of sounds (as of a bird, insect, or whale) 5 a : a melody for a lyric poem or ballad b : a poem easily set to music Bregowald appears to be right, I hate to say. There's a few more definitions but I don't have enough characters free.
@BellethielDaugon The musical pieces of Mozart, Chopin, Vivaldi, etc,. are called "pieces", not "songs", except the ones with singing in them, which may be called songs. A song has singing, lyrics.
@KingRundzap 'Songs without words' is just a metaphorical extension of the concept of 'song'. When people call instrumental works like Orion 'songs', they aren't speaking in metaphors. They are just uneducated and don't understand the meaning of the word.
@Bregowald False. First off, meaning is determined by use. It may have originally been a metaphorical extension only, but it no longer is. It's rather you who are the Aspie-like moron who confuses etymology, historical use and historical definitions with objective meaning. It doesn't make you look smart (and neither does conflating knowledge with intelligence as you did). It rather makes you look idiotic.
Oh, they did... But I think what Bregowald's referring to is the fact that, although all songs are musical pieces, if it doesn't have words it isn't a song. It's simply a piece.
Grew Up To This,May Future Generations Be as Blessed as We Were To Witness History Like The Creation Of This Song,Im Not as Much Into Current Music, This Song Has Inspired Billions Through The Years and Shall Continue To Expand Because Once you hear It Your Hooked! RIP Cliff Burton No One Can Ripp It like You:)
@THEFLYINGREDNECK liar, there are no words, so u didn't "sing" it, you may have hummed it, but you can't"sing" this song. Fucking liars on youtube trying to make the video bad for everynoe...... so sad.
I think the reason so many ppl are making the mustaine metallica comments is cuz they dont know mustaine wrote most of this album with hetfield.........
@Yonny316 Mustaine wrote most of Kill em all and a few riffs and such in Ride the lightning. No where has anyone stated that he wrote ANYTHING for this album.
@ixcaliber It's hard to say. Mustaine has a specific sound. Only James and Dave can tell the real story. Bands always have a lot of songs that get started but not finished until years later. It could be Mustaine made a lot of riffs with James but never recorded them and James maybe used them in later albums. But like I said only James and Dave can tell the real story. James can always deny any thing Dave says and vice versa. Lets just enjoy the music guys.
Here's an idea you dorks, stop arguing over completely pointless bullshit and listen to the damn song.
